About this role
At Datadog's Boston office, the Recruiting Coordinator role is an operational backbone position focused on managing high-volume interview scheduling and logistics. You'll own the day-to-day execution that keeps hiring moving: scheduling interviews within SLAs, coordinating remote and onsite logistics, managing candidate and interviewer communication, handling offer letters with regional compliance in mind, and maintaining ATS hygiene across job postings and candidate pipelines. This is a hands-on delivery role where you'll also provide real-time support on interview day—rescheduling, travel arrangements, expense management—and escalate blockers early when things go wrong.
The role demands strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and comfort with tools like Greenhouse and Goodtime (though not required on day one). You'll work autonomously but as part of a recruiting team, partnering with recruiters, hiring managers, and people coordinators across regions. Datadog values a "can-do" attitude, reliability under pressure, and the ability to navigate a constantly changing environment. If you have 2–3 years of admin experience or one year as a Recruiting Coordinator, clear written communication skills, and a sense of urgency, you're in the running—though the company encourages applications from those passionate about the work even if you don't check every box.
This is positioned as the entry point into Datadog's recruiting career path, with growth toward training new coordinators and taking on broader initiatives. The hybrid Boston setup, equity package, mentorship program, and comprehensive benefits support longer-term investment in the role. The salary range is $49,000–$65,000.
